Stress has my thinking all over the place. Making me think of giving up my meds - this is a bad warning sign for me

A few sources of stress have left me feeling desperate. I am thinking and acting foolishly. Half an hour ago I was about to throw all my meds away and cut all ties with the community mental health team.

This is bad.

Why is it when things slightly ■■■■ up my brain decides the only course is to make it a total ■■■■ up.

■■■■ you brain.

Ok, calm down. Don’t throw out your meds obviously. Cutting down on seroquel is no joke. You’re doing it the right way : little by little but expect some turbulence.

Make sure you report this to your doctor though.

You are going through a med reduction.
This is most likely the reason.
I would tell your doctor.
Try to take things slow.

It’s easy to make irrational decisions when you feel very stressed.

It’s good that you have recognised they are irrational!

I hope you feel better soon :slight_smile:

@Wave is right,

Your changing dosage is messing you up.

I’m super happy that you got an appointment,

You can hold it together man!

I kinda figure when you are considering doing all the wrong things, doing nothing is probably a good idea. Will have informed bed rest till Tuesday.
